DON'T TAKE CHANCES! Use this manual to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the machine, ‘The safety rules which follow are for your protection - obey them! Be safety conscious at all times - safety is everybody's business! It is recommended that these safety rules be copied and posted at the work site. ‘A properly maintained machine is the safest machine, Pre-Starting Wear the proper safety equipment - avoid loose clothing. Request additional safety equipment when you feel your safety is at stake, Visually check out the machine for leaks and broken, missing or malfunctioning parts. Be sure the operator's area is free of oll, loose objects or ice. During operation take time to clean out the operator's area as required. Be thoroughly fam{liar with the location of underground gaslines, water mains, cables, etc. Check clearance of overhead power and telephone lines, Never touch wires with any part of the machine. Clear the area of all unauthorized people. Carry a fire extinguisher (available at your Case dealer) and a first aid kit at all times. Failure totreat seemingly minor cuts and scratches can result in lost time injuries. Operating ‘This is a one man machine ~ no riders allowed. Operate all controls from the operator's seat only, and with the seat properly positioned, Adjust travel speed to work site or highway conditions, Steer with both hands. Reduce speed before turning or applying brakes. Lock the brake pedals together before traveling at high speeds. 2Do not drive near the edge of a trench, bank or excavation. When driving up a steep incline, engage the clutch slowly and be ready to depress the clutch pedal immediately should the front wheels rise off the ground. This procedure also applies should the rear wheels become mired in soft groundor a rear wheel drops into ahole, Keep the transmission in low gear when going down steep hills or inclines. Never coast with the transmission in neutral or the clutch pedal depressed. Be extra careful when working on hillsides or inclines. Carry the loader bucket as low as possible. Never carry the bucket at full height. When operating the backhoe on an incline, dump the bucket on the uphill side whenever possible. Never dig under the backhoe stabilizers; a cave-in may result, Be sure the stabilizers are properly positioned before operating the backhoe; see page 22. ‘Make sure the area is clear before lowering the stabilizers or ‘swinging the boom above or below ground level. Lock the backhoe in the transport position during loader operation. If the machine is equipped with a ROPS, be sure to fasten the seat belt. Before dismounting, apply the parking brake, put the trans- mission in low gear, lower the loader and backhoe (unless in transport position) buckets to the ground and shut off the engine. Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running. When transporting the machine, make sure the backhoe cylinders are retracted, the boom is centered, the transport chains are secure and the stabilizers are lowered enough to make the chain rigid, Drive the machine in reverse when moving onto a steep ramp. When transporting the machine, make use of safety equipment, such as the SMV emblem, flashing lights or rotating beacon (all available at your Case dealer). Use these safety devices at the work site as well.Maintenance Always lower the loader bucket, backhoe bucket or rear mounted attachment to the ground before performing any service operation, If the service being performed requires the bucket or rear mounted attachment be raised, block that attachment in place first. Never grease, oil or perform any maintenance with the engine running unless so instructed in the operators or service manual. If a bucket must be raised in order to perform the operation, block the bucket in place first, Never operate the controls unless properly seated in the operator's seat, Check the parking brake frequently to make sure it is operating Properly. Remember this - the man in the operator's seat is responsible for the safe oporation of the machine. A set of loader lift cylinder safety stops can be fabricated from channel stock.

See Figure 14, Control lever positions are: HOLD: Keeps implement component at a previously placed height. Lever automatically returns to Hold when released from other two positions. LOWER: Push lever forward, RAISE: Pull lever backward, LOADER OPERATION Job Layout Set up the work cycle as short as possible. Proper spotting of the truck is very important for efficient operation. Spend a few minutes leveling off the work area, if necessary. Smooth runways for the machine and a level parking area for trucks will speed up the job. 18Keep transport distances as short as possibl makes a shorter work cycle, Filling The Bucket Methods are generally of two types; the arcpenetration method, in which the loader bucket is penetrated into the bank in a continuous upward arc until filled; and the step penetration method, in which the loader bucket is penetrated horizontally into the bank with intermittent and successively higher levels, or steps, until the bucket is filled. ‘The operator should judge the type of penetration needed for loading and vary the methods to suit the materials. It is best to work the bucket from the top of the bank or stockpile. Arc Penetration Approach bank or stockpile with bucket horizontal at ground level and cnginc at full governed rpm. Keep tractor in forward motion until bucket is full. Penetrate bucket straight into pile about 6 or 8 inches. Then coordinate loader arm lift motion and bucket rollback motion so that the rear of the bucket is filled as the tractor moves forward. Too much rollback will underfill the bucket; too little rollback will overload the bucket. 7e0619 Figure 15 - Arc Penetration 19Step Penetration Approach bank with bucket horizontal at ground level and engine at full governed rpm. Penetrate bucket straight into pile as far as possible during initial thrust, When engine speed starts to drop, depress clutch pedal. Keep bucket horizontal and raise approx- imately one foot. Resume forward motion of tractor, and drive bucket further into the pile. Repeat the cycle as may times as necessary until the bucket is full. Use the clutch pedal so that the lift cylinders will have maxi- mum hydraulic power when raising the bucket after each thrust into the pile. Figure 16 - Step Penetration Performance For best performance, keep the engine operating at high rpm while dumping the bucket or digging with the bucket, Penetrate the pile smoothly and firmly. Do not use the loader lke a ramrod; it is hard on both man and machine, In loading operations, depress the clutch pedal when the engine speed starts to drop. Transporting When backing out and transporting a load, carry the bucket just high enough to clear obstacles in the loader's path, Raising the bucket higher than necessary reduces traction and stability. cauTio! Never transport a load with a fully raised bucket, 20Dumping The Bucket When dumping a load into a truck or hopper, gradually spill the load out of the bucket to ease the strain of added weight on the truck or receptacle. Dumping a load quickly in one big mass puts a sudden load shock on the truck or receptacle. If part of the load remains in the bucket after dumping, knock the bucket against its stops to loosen any remaining material. Truck Loading Keep the wind to your back when dumping into a truck, This eliminates a chance of dust and loose material blowing into your face and impairing visibility. This also reduces engine air cleaner maintenance. Start raising the bucket so it will just reach dumping height at the time you arrive at the dump area. If one side of the truck is lower than the other, try to spot the truck so you can dump over the low side, This improves reach and distribution of the load in the truck. Reach over and dump into the far side of the truck first, Fill tae truck gradually from the far side to the near side in order to distribute the load in the truck properly. Stripping For stripping topsoil, move loader arm lever into Float position. As loader moves forward, tilt bucket downward to penetrate ground. When desired stripping depth has been reached, tilt bucket upward until bucket bottom is level with stripping depth. With the loader arm in Float position, the bucket bottom will follow the contour of the ground. The operator makes bucket tilt, corrections to compensate for varying compactness of soils. Leveling And Grading For leveling or grading topsoil, dump the bucket over and use either the top edge or the bottom cutting edge at the desired tilt angle. To grade according to the ground contour, move loader arm lever into Float position. 2BACKHOE OPERATION Preparation Stabilizers And Boom Before operating the backhoe, the stabilizers must be lowered and the rear wheels raised off the ground (6 inches maximum). This action stabilizes the backhoe and takes the machine weight off the tractor tires. See Figure 17. A WARNING: Before swinging the backhoe boom toeither side, be sure there is ample room and that all persons are out of the way. Figure 17 Loader Bucket As Stabilizer The loader bucket can be used as afront stabilizer for backhoe operations. Dump the bucket completely over and lower to the ground, See Figure 17. Lift control lever must be in Neutral, not Float. Digging And Trenching Digging and trenching techniques are generally learned by experience. But it is important for the operator to know that peak backhoe operation can only be obtained by working the equipment just short of the relief valve setting. Forcing equipment to work at the relief valve setting reduces efficiency and durability. A new operator should actuate all control levers and put the backhoe through a complete working cycle at reduced engine speed. After becoming familiar with the controls and actions and a defin- ite feel is developed, the backhoe can be operated easily and smoothly at normal engine operating speed. 2Trenching Bucket Positions Trenching buckets are provided with two adjustment positions. See Figure 18, With the link in the No. 1 position, the bucket can be curled close to the dipper arm for loading trucks. With the link in the No. 2 position, the bucket teeth are extended back, The No. 2 position is the normal position for most types of trenching. It permits the operator to dig deeper holes with straight cut sides and longer, flat bottom trenches. To change the bucket adjustment position, remove the pin as shown in Figure 18. Then swing the bucket around to the opposite adjustment position and reinstall the pin. Figure 18 Bucket Teeth The bucket teeth should be positioned and maintained, as close as possible, parallel to the path the bucket will follow during the digging cycle. This bucket position will allow the lower bucket cutting edge to penetrate (cut) the soil. The depth of the cut is determined by the type of soil. BBucket Penetration At initial contact with the ground the boom and dipper should be positioned at an angle that will give good penetration. ‘The boom and dipper have the best leverage and penetrative power when they form approximately a 45-degree angle. It is not always possible to have that angle for initial penetration, but what should be avoided is extreme extension of boom and dipper in a straight, horizontal line. The bucket may be "dropped" for penetrating hard ground (breaking the crust). The boom can also be lowered to exert down pressure on the bucket for controlled penetration. Bucket Filling The basic problem encountered by most new operators is mastering the technique of "crowding the bucket". The technique is to fill the bucket by synchronizing the movements of the bucket and dipper. ‘The operator should determine (1) the length of the bucket pass and (2) the depth of bucket penetration, so that the bucket is filled at the end of the pass. Depth of bucket penetration will depend on the type of soil. Position the bucket for the start of a pass by using the boom and dipper. Align the bucket bottom so that it is parallel with the intended path of the bucket. In making a bucket pass, do not use the boom. Use only the dipper and bucket, Keep the bucket bottom in alignment with the path of the bucket. The dipper alone should furnish the power for pushing, or crowding, the bucket through the ground, If the boom and dipper are used together for crowding, digging ability is reduced. If the boom must be momentarily used during a pass for depth correction, use the boom alone and then return its control lever to neutral. Continue the pass using only the dipper and bucket. 4Figure 20 - Filling The Bucket At the end of the pass, a synchronized movement of boom, dipper and bucket should raise the bucket in an arc that ends with the bucket filled and its cutting edges approximately parallel to the ground. ‘The bucket should be raised from the hole with the boom cylinder as soon as the bucket is full, No work can be accomplished by dragging a full bucket. Anytime the dipper cylinder cannot move the bucket, the bite must be lessened. This is done by pulling the bucket lever back while feathering the dipper lever forward. ‘The secret of getting a full bucket every time is to work from the top down and take a bite shallow enough to make a clean, smooth pass. Raising Bucket Do not retract the dipper more than necessary to clear the ditch or hole when raising the loader bucket. This reduces the dipper extension movement needed to position the bucket above the dumping site. See Figure 21. To speed up the cycle, simultaneously raise and swing the boom towards the dumping site as soon as the bucket is sufficiently clear of the excavation. ‘The boom can be hydraulically swung through a full 190 degree are, and the bucket can be dumped on either side of the excavation. aFigure 21 Raising Bucket From Hole Returning Bucket Immediately after unloading the bucket, reposition dipper and bucket for the next digging pass before they are swung back to the excavation. This can be done with little or no motion provided dipper extension movement has been kept to 2 minimum, When returning the bucket from the dumping side, simultaneously lower and swing the boom towards the excavation, As soon as the bucket is directly over the ditch, neutralize the swing and drop the bucket into the hole. See Figure 22.Basement Digging Figure 23 illustrates the technique used in basement digging. Notice that two corners are left open or free of spoil pile. If the dirt is to be removed, it can be loaded directly into a truck, eliminating an additional loading operation and leaving a clean job site. This method completes the job by leaving a straight vertical wall, an even floor, and no ramp or uncleared area, ‘Standard backhoe Backhoe with Extendahoe x BB-1/2" x 4: x 84-1/2' x 54-1/2" To1818 Figure 23 aTruck Loading While loading trucks, keep spillage at a minimum as bucket is raised from excavation and swung over to a truck for dumping. When bucket is raised from the digging site, curl the bucket close to the dipper. Then, as the bucket is swung over to the truck, the bucket cutting edges will be approximately parallel to the ground and prevent spillage before the load is dumped. See Figure 24. Figure 24 Hydra-Guide Hydra-Guide is ahydraulic guidance system which automatically controls the boom, dipper and bucket during the time the bucket is passing through the soil. The remainder of the backhoe excavating cycle is done by manual control. To achieve the automatic Hydra-Guide control, the backhoe must be properly positioned before the start of each cycle and then operated according to instructions. Selector Vaive ‘The position of the selector valve handle, Figure 25, determines the type of digging which the backhoe will perform. 2BFigure 25 Manual When the selector valve handle is turned tothe left for Manual, all backhoe functions must be done by manual control. NOTE: When the selector valve handle is placed in Dig or Trench, the Hydra-Guide system controls the bucket as it passes through the soil. The system can be overridden any time by manually operating the controls. It is NOT necessary to place the selector valve handle in Manual to override the system. Dig To dig trenches, basements and excavations of all kinds automatically, place the selector valve in Dig position, When the trench, basement, etc. has been dug, place the selector valve in Trench position and finish the job by leveling and raking the bottom. See following topic. To operate the backhoe with selector valve in Dig: 1, Run engine at full throttle. Position the stabilizers, 2, Position the backhoe as shown in Figure 26, It is important that the backhoe be in good digging attitude before starting each cycle. Experience will be required to learn the best possible digging attitude for the machine and soil conditions. 23If the backhoe is not positioned properly, the cut may be too shallow or the Hydra-Guide may fail to function, Figure 26 - Backhoe Position for Dig 3, Pull the dipper lever to crowd and hold it in that position. The backhoe will operate automatically until the bucket is filled. 4, When the bucket is full, take over manually and unload the bucket, 5. Reposition the backhoe manually for the next cycle, 6. To level or rake the bottom of the trench or excavation, place the selector valve in Trench. See following topic. Trench ‘When the selector valve is in Trench the backhoe levels and rakes the soil by making a flat, shallow pass in order to obtain a flat bottomed trench. To operate the backhoe with selector valve in Trench: Run engine at full throttle. Position the backhoe as shown in Figure 27. As explained under step 2, page 29, the starting position of the backhoe is very important,Figure 27 - Backhoe in Trench Position 3, Pull the dipper lever to crowd and hold inthat position, The backhoe will automatically make a shallow pass through the soil, leveling and raking the bottom of the cut. 4, When the boom starts to raise at the end of the pass, take over manually and unload the bucket. 5. Reposition backhoe manually for the next cycle, Boom Lockout The backhoe dipper can be used as a crane to handle heavy objects. The boom lockout system increases the load capacity which the backhoe can handle in this application. Boom lockout is available from your Authorized Case Dealer for field installation. On early production models the boom lockout control valve and lever is installed on the right-hand side of the backhoe control tower, see Figure 28A, On late production models the control valve and lever is installed near the top of the rear side of the tower, see Figure 26B, When the boom lockout lever is placed in the Open position, the backhoe boom can be raised or lowered by working the boom lever. When the boom lockout lever is placed in the Lock position, the backhoe boom can be raised but it cannot be lowered. 31Figure 28A Figure 288 Extendahoe ‘The Extendahoe, which is optional equipment, hydraulically extends the dipper 3 feet for additional reach in excavating. ‘The Extendahoe is controlled by a diversion valve lever and the left stabilizer lever (see Figure 29):1. When the diversion valve lever is pulled up, the left stabilizer lever controls only the left stabilizer action. 2, When the diversion valve lever is pushed down, the left stabilizer lever controls only the Extendahoe action: 2. To extend the dipper, push the left stabilizer lever forward, See Figure 30, b. To retract the dipper, pull back the left stabilizer lever. See Figure 31. Figure 30 Figure 31. 33Backhoe Transport To prepare the backhoe for job-to-job road travel: 1, Raise the boom to full height, 2. Retract the dipper completely. 3, Retract the bucket completely. 4. Raise the stabilizers to full height. 5. Center the boom, and attach the transport chains. 6. Lower the stabilizers until the chains become rigid. CAUTION: Be sure the transport chains are in position before traveling on roads or between job sites. Keep tractor speed within safe limits to prevent the machine from tipping over around sharp curves, ou hillsides or over rough terrain, Figure $2 - Backhoe In Transport Position 34Backhoe Removal If only the loader is to be used for a considerable time, it is advantageous to remove the backhoe from the tractor: CAUTION: Before starting removal, actuate each backhoe control lever in both directions until the main relief valve bypasses and the backhoe cylinders are locked with ofl. 1. Park the tractor on a hard, level surface. Figure 88 - Backhoe In Tripod Position 2. Lower the stabilizers, and position boom, dipper and bucket so that a tripod is formed as shown in Figure 33, 3. Lower the stabilizers far enough to relieve pressure on the Dolts which mount the backhoe frame to the tractor mounting arms. If the bolts bind, use the stabilizers to reposition the backhoe until bolt pressure is relieved; use only a minimum amount of movement, Shut off tractor engine. 4, Remove the hammer blocks, cone washers and bolts from the tractor mounting arms and backhoe frame. See Figure 34, Loosen blocks by striking with a sledge hammer. Disconnect the dipper light wire if so equipped. 35Figure 34 Start tractor engine. Slowly and cautiously move the tractor forward a short distance. Move the tractor enough to separate the tractor and backhoe mounting parts, but do not let the hydraulic hoses become taut. Disconnect hydraulic couplings (quick-disconnects) onpressure and return lines running between the loader control valve and the backhoe control valve. See Figure 35. Reconnect couplings (quick-disconnects) of tractor pressure and return lines to form a complete hydraulic circuit on the tractor. See Figure 39. CAUTION: Do not start the tractor engine until the tractor's pressure and return lines are reconnected to form a complete circuit, 36Quick Disconnects Figure 35 Reconnect the couplings of the backhoe pressure and return lines so that a closed backhoe circuit is formed to prevent entry of dirt into the backhoe hydraulic system, Start tractor engine and drive tractor away from backhoe. Rear Counterweight A 1400 pound rear counterweight is available for the tractor when the backhoe is removed and the loader alone is used. The quick-detachable counterweight is accepted by the tractor mounting arms: 1 Hoist the counterweight until its upper mounting brackets are at about the same height as the tractor upper mounting arms, and the counterweight lower support arms are about even with the tractor lower mounting arms, Back up tractor to counterweight. Align mounting holes in tractor arms with the holes in the counterweight brackets and support arms. Insert bolts, cone washers and hammer blocks in mounting holes. Strike blocks with a sledge hammer until they stop moving. 37Backhoe Installation 1, Clean accumulated dirt off tractor and backhoe hydraulic couplings. 2. Start tractor engine. Back up tractor to backhoe mounting frame so that tractor mounting arms are just shortof backhoe frame, Shut off engine. 3. Disconnect hydraulic couplings (quick-disconnects) on pressure and return lines of tractor loader valve and backhoe valve. 4, Reconnect couplings of tractor and backhoe so that a complete tractor-to-backhoe circuit is formed: (See Figure 35) a. Reconnect the couplings on the pressure lines from the loader valve and backhoe valve. b, Reconnect the coupling on the backhoe pressure line to the coupling on the loader valve pressure Inlet, 5. The backhoe lower mounting holes have right-angled flanges located just above them, These flanges should be slightly above the level of the tractor lower mounting arms, Start the tractor engine. If necessary, use the stabilizers to raise the flanges. Back up the tractor into the backhoe frame. Using the stabilizers, lower the backhoe frame onto the tractor mounting arms, The flanges should be properly seated on the lower tractor arms, See Figure 34, 6. Align mounting holes of tractor and backhoe and insert bolts, cone washers and hammer blocks, Tighten blocks by striking with a sledge hammer until they stop moving. See Figure 34, THREE-POINT HITCH OPERATION Hitch-Implement Removal When removing the hitch from the tractor mounting arms, the hitch and its attached implement can be removed as a unit. 1. Locate the tractor on ahard, level surface. Level the implement on the ground. 2, The hitch must be raised to relieve pressure on the bolts which mount the hitch frame to the tractor mounting arms. 383. a. If jacks are used, position one or more beneath the hitch frame and raise hitch just enough to relieve pressure on bolts. b. If a hoist is used, loop a chain at two places around the pivot shaft of the hitch upper mounting arms, Each loop should be between the frame and an arm. See Figure 36. c. If only blocks are available, place a block midway under each lower mounting arm of the hitch so that the block just touches the arm. If bolt pressure remains unrelieved or the bolts bind, start tractor engine and use the hitch's lift and pitch levers to reposition the hitch. Use only the minimum amount of movement necessary. Shut off the engine, Remove hammer blocks, cone washers, spacers and nuts from the mounting holes, Loosen blocks by striking with a sledge hammer. See Figure 37. Disconnect hydraulic couplings (quick-disconnects) on pressure and return lines running between the tractor and the hitch control valve. See Figure 43. Reconnect the couplings (quick-disconnects) of the tractor pressure and return lines to form a complete hydraulic circuit on the tractor. 39Figure 37 a If the tractor is not equipped with a loader valve, the coupling on the return hose must be connected to the coupling on the pressure tube, See Figure 38, Figure 38 If the tractor is equipped with a loader valve, the coupling on the valve return hose must be connected to the coupling on the valve pressure outlet. See Figure 39. 40Figure 39 7. Reconnect the couplings of the hitch valve pressure and return lines so that a closed hitch cfrouit is formed to prevent entry of dirt into the hitch hydraulic system. See Figure 40. Figure 40 8, Start tractor engine and drive tractor out of hitch. CAUTION: Do not start tractor engine until the tractor's pressure and return lines are reconnected to form a complete circuit, 9 Block up the hitch frame to prevent misalignment with the implement. See Figure 41. Remove jacks, chain or blocks that were used to raise hitch. 4Figure 41 Hitch-Implement Installation To install the hitch-implement on the tractor mounting arms: Check alignment of tractor mounting arms with the hitch frame. If it is necessary to raise hitch off storage blocks to align tractor mounting arm holes with hitch frame holes, use one of the following: a. If a hoist is available, attach a chain to the hitch as instructed on page 39, step 2.b, b, If jacks are available, place them under hitch frame. c. If only blocks are available, place a block midway under each lower mounting arm of the hitch so that the block Just touches the arm. Align tractor mounting arms with hitch frame and back up tractor to the hitch. See Figure 42. Shut off tractor engine. Lower loader bucket to ground if tractor is so equipped. Disconnect the hydraulic couplings (quick-disconnects) on the tractor: a, If the tractor does not have a loader valve, the couplings are at the rear of the tractor. See Figure 38, 42Figure 42 b. If the tractor has a loader valve, the couplings are located below the valve, See Figure 39. Disconnect the hydraulic couplings on the hitch valve. See Figure 40, Form a complete hydraulic circuit between tractor and hitch by connecting tractor and hitch pressure lines, and connecting tractor and hitch return lines, See Figure 43, Restart engine, Back tractor into hitch very slowly, making sure that hoses do not bind or pinch. Position hitch so that upper and lower mounting holes in the hitch frame and tractor mounting arms are in alignment. a, Use jacks or chain and hoist if available, b. If blocks are being used, they must be installed under the hitch lower mounting arms as instructed in step 2.c. Use the hitch tft and pitch control levers to position hitch into alignment. Use the blocks as pivots on which to move the hitch. 43PRESSURE GOTLET, LoADeR=TO-HETH Figure 43 10, Install the hammer blocks, cone washers, spacers and nuts in ‘the mounting holes. See Figure 44.

Remove the pump mounting bolts and lockwashers and remove ‘the pump. Remove shaft coupling from pump drive shaft and stub drive shaft, Remove snap ring from inside of shaft coupling. Thoroughly remove all dirt, debris, rust and excessive oil from the splines on the shafts and coupling. Brush off any loose rust. Clean splines with solvent and dry. Lubrication 1. Apply the Molykote, Type G, to the entire length of all male splines of the pump drive shaft and the stub drive shaft with a stiff bristle brush. Brush the lubricant into the eplinoe until they are well covered over their entire surface, This is important. Brush parallel to the splines, Wiping a quantity of lubricant over the splines is not acceptable, Do not fill the splines with lubricant. Molykote, Type G, has @ peculiar affinity for metal and when properly applied will not wipe off or squeeze out from between metal surfaces. Molykote, Type G, is a concentrate and excessive usage should be avoided. Do not allow dirt and dust to come into contact with the Iubri- cated surfaces during assembly. Installation Install snap ring in shaft coupling. Install stub shaft in coupling and install this assembly in crankshaft. Engage pump driveshaft with coupling and rotate pump to align mounting holes. Install bolts with lockwashers and torque bolts to 80-85 foot-pounds, Reconnect pressure and suction lines to pump. Refill hydraulic reservoir(s) to proper level. 486. Start tractor engine and check hydraulic lines for leaks. 7. If connectors are secure, install radiator grille. Hydraulic System Capacity Reservoir refill: Left-hand reservoir - 5-1/2 U.S. gallons (21 liters) Right-hand reservoir - 5-1/2 U.S. gallons (21 liters) system capacity: For system capacity, see specifications on page 10. Recommended Lubricant Case TCH Fluid. Alternate lubricant: Heavy duty engine oil, ‘Types: (Service MS or DG) SD ~ Service class D. CA - Commercial class A. Viscosity: ‘Above 82° F. - SAE 10W Below 32° F. - SAE 5W Oil Level ‘The loader subframes serve as reservoirs for the hydraulic system. If the tractor is solely equipped with a three-point hitch, only the right-hand reservoir contains hydraulic ofl. If the tractor is equipped with a loader and can accept either a backhoe or three-point hitch, both reservoirs are used.To check the ofl level in the reservoir or reservoirs: Park tractor on a level surface. Operate tractor engine until the hydraulic system warms up (reservoir feels warm to the hand). Lower the loader bucket to the ground and roll it back, Place backhoe, if so equipped, in transport position. Shut off the engine. Remove the oil level plug from the right-hand reservoir. See Figure 47. The oil should be level with the bottom of the plug hole. a. If the oil level is too low, there is a possibility of of! pump starvation which causes foaming, overheating and hydraulic system damage. b, If the off level is too high, oil could overflow through the reservoir breathers. ou tevel Puus j « Figure 47 - Hydraulic Reservoirs 506. If necessary to add oil, remove the breather from the top of the right-hand reservoir and pour oil through the opening until the proper oil level is reached at the oil level plug hole. See Figure 47. 7, Reinstall breather and ofl level plug. Reservoir Servicing After the first 20 hours of operation, and at least every 500 hours thereafter: ‘The reservoir oil should be drained and refilled. The element in the hydraulic oil filter should be changed. The reservoir breather(s) should be cleaned. For a complete reservoir servicing, do the following: OIL DRAIN 1. Park tractor on level surface. Uperate tractor engine until hydraulic system warms up (reservoir fells warm to hand). Lower the loader bucket to the ground and roll it back. Place backhoe, if so equipped, in transport position. Shut off the engine. 2. Remove the ofl level plug and the vent plug from the right-hand reservoir. See Figure 47. Figure 48 - Reservoir Drains 5Remove the ofl drain plug from the right-hand reservoir, and the left-hand reservoir if so equipped. See Figure 48, Let oil drain thoroughly. CAUTION: Do not operate the tractor engine with the hydraulic system drained of ofl, The hydraulic pump would be damaged within a few seconds. Approximately 5-1/2 U.S. gallons of oil will drain from each reservoir. It is not necessary to drain the oil remaining in the hydraulic system pump, valves, cylinders and lines. FILTER ELEMENT CHANGE 4 Remove the hydraulic oil filter housing and element. See Figure 49, Clean housing in solvent and dry. Install new element. Lubricate threads and O-ring of housing. Install housing and torque to not more than 90 foot-pounds. Furs ASSEMBLY NU rior Figure 49 - Hydraulic Oil Filter 52‘The element must be replaced sooner than each ofl change if the filter condition gage shows the filter to have reached excessive restriction. See "Filter Condition Gauge" below. 5, Reinstall reservoir drain plugs. RESERVOIR BREATHER(S) 6. Remove the breather at the top of each reservoir. Clean breather in solvent and dry. See Figure 47, Reinstall left- hand breather only. OIL REFILL 7. Remove the vent plug from the front of the right-hand reservoir. See Figure 47, 8 Pour clean, fresh ofl into the right-hand breather hole until the ofl runs from the vent plug hole. Aurion: Failure to remove the ventplugbefore pouring may cause an air void in the reservoir and insufficient oil in the hydraulic system. . Reinstall the vent plug and continue pouring until the oil level is up to the oil level plug hole, 10. Reinstall the right-hand breather and the ofl level plug. Start the engine. Put each equipment control lever or pedal through a complete operating cycle to be sure air is out of the hydraulic system. 11, When all air is removed from system, check oil level as instructed on page 49, Add oll if necessary. Filter Condition Gauge The filter condition gauge indicates pressure in the hydraulic return line. See Figure 50. For correct readings, the gauge should be read ONLY under the following conditions: 1, The hydraulic ofl is up to operating temperature (reservoir feels warm to the hand). 2, The engine 1s running at full throttle. 3. The loader, backhoe, or other equipment is not being operated. 53Figure 50 Filter Conaition Gauge ‘The indicator has two color zones: GREEN: When the pointer is within the green zone, the filter element does not require changing, RED: When the pointer enters the red zone, change the filter element 8 soon as possible. The element must be changed before the pointer moves halfway into the red zone, When the oil filter becomes dirty or clogged, the dirty oil bypasses the filter through a valve in the filter head and continues to recirculate in the hydraulic system. Toprevent the recirculation, change the filter element with every reservoir oil change or sooner if indicated by the filter condition gauge. BACKHOE Lubrication Points Backhoe grease fittings should be lubricated every 10 hours or daily, If the backhoe is operated under severe conditions such as mud or water, reduce lubrication intervals by one-half.

If not, ROPS is available from your Authorized Case Dealer for field installation. As an owner or operator of a ROPS equipped machine, several points are extremely important if you are to gain all the safety benefits of ROPS. Seat Belts with ROPS Seat belts are an integral part of your protective system and must be worn at all times. Accidental Upset with ROPS The ROPS is an energy absorbing safety device. Once it has been subjected to an upset or some other form of impact (such as striking an overhead abutment during travel), it must be replaced so that you will have the same degree of protection originally provided, The ROPS and mounting, operator's seat and mounting, seat belts, and any accessories, wiring, etc. within the ROPS system must be very carefully inspected after an upset, and all broken or damaged parts must be replaced immediately. DO NOT AT- TEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OR WELD THE ROPS. ROPS Maintenance and Inspection Every 500 hours or twice yearly, whichever comes first, the following must be performed. 1. Check torque on the ROPS mounting bolts and retorque to specifications if required. See Figure 55. Inspect the operator's seat, seat mounting, and seat belt. Tighten bolts to specifications. Replace damaged or wornparts. ROPS Safety Precautions . Keep the ROPS and mounting parts in the original factory built condition. Do not modify the ROPS by welding, grinding, adding attachments or drilling holes. These will weaken the structure and reduce your protection.1 NC «160-160 FteTbs. (216-246 Nm) Tongues 25-35 ft-lbs.
